so much drama! although i use friendfeed, i don't really “get it” myself, maybe it's because no-one in adelaide actually uses friendfeed but anyways, it's all good!

That Friendfeed is far superior to Twitter there is no doubt about it; why it is way behind Twitter in number of users [maybe even on the verge of becoming extinct since Facebook acquired FriendFeed] is beyond me.
I would not say Twitter sucks, it's just not good at {long posts, conversations,…} but it is excellent, because remarkably simple, as a pool of informations. Friendfeed is the tool working in back office sorting out those informations.
I wish there was a way to cross-friend/unfriend on Friendfeed those one follows/unfollows on twitter [like there features allowing cross-posting]

I'm glad you're back on FF. As I rarely use Twitter anymore, I was missing you some. =)

The initial confusion of FriendFeed was why I did nothing with it since registering an account last spring. My rationale was that being an admin/mod for various groups throughout several services was less complicated, and (at that time) more satisfying.

The whole Twitter equation still leaves me scratching my head, though. Yes, it's valuable for timely hit-and-run news updates, but do I really want to know what someone is having for lunch? Sorry, I'm just not *that* interested.

Twitter's 140 character limitation is more than an annoyance. At times it's an outright liability, especially if a legitimate contact is in crisis. Wouldn't logic dictate that, at least for DMs, there should be an on/off toggle override on that limit? Apologies, I digress...

I may give FriendFeed another whirl. If it flies this time, blame Holden. ;oD

I am not leaving Twitter.

Just think it sucks in general. Personal opinion though

So should we agree with you? Ok, I totally agree with you.
I was a big big fan of FriendFeed and I still because simply twitter does not offer what FF does. Twitter is quite enough to say Hi or Good morning, to share a link (tweeted millions) but here is the limit of twitter. no conversations and the 140 characters as you said are really not enough.
But, as a matter of fact twitter is not FF!! Yes, you cannot say twitter SUCKS and I am going to FF!! there is a good side for each one. on FF you cannot say (Good morning) every minute because if you were my friend I'll delete you directly but on twitter I'll reply and have a good day.
Don't leave FF or twitter and do not use one and neglect the another one!!! Simply get benefits of each
Wish you a very nice time on twitter and FF
